Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 9180
Printing is incorrect
Last modified: 2003-03-11 17:58:03 UTC
When I try to print a file you can find at http://aufbix.org/~mike/thegimp.abc.sxw to .ps or .pdf I get overlapping text on some of the pages. This is the output: http://aufbix.org/~mike/thegimp.abc.sxw.ps.bz2 and http://aufbix.org/~mike/thegimp.abc.sxw.pdf.bz2 OS is Debian GNU/Linux 3.0, GS is 6.53 and glibc is 2.2.5
Confirmed SuSE8.0, OOo 1.0.1. The overlapping text is apparent on pages 4, 5, 7, and 8. Unable to recreate the issue on OOo 643.
Changed to worksforme (643).
----------- Email from Miha ------------------- Please can you explain me what and how is resolved (resolved worksforme - I don't know the lingo). Because I just tried the printing to .ps filewith 643 and the problem is still there not as obvious, but still visible. The problem is that some of the text get overlayed on some pages. Theprobme is that first bitmapped version of text is layered and then the vectorised version. I must admit that in 643 the two layers are much more consistent, but with gv and a slow machine one can still see how page builds slowly. There is another problem with 643 that som eof the images dont get displayed or just partially so. Thanks and take care, Miha... --------------- Miha, Thank you for your email. I am unable to recreate the issues you are observing, but I have reopened the issue changing the version to 643. Specifically, I recreated the font overlay problem in 1.0.1, for example, on page 4 in the paragraph containing graphic20 and graphic21. I can not recreate that problem in the postscript file printed on 643, either viewing that page in gv, or printing it from gv. My platform is SuSE8.0, GS 6.53, glibc 2.25. 384RAM/667CPU Can you provide more exact details on where you see the issue? Page numbers, paragraphs, line numbers, graphic#, etc.. What images are not being displayed properly? What "slow machine" are you using (RAM, CPU)? Thanks, Liz
***************email from Miha*************** Hello Liz! Sorry for late reply. I am looking at the .ps printed from 643 and on page 2 the leftmost picture is missing and at the bottom of the page the last bullet item is missing. But if I use a larger magnifying scale the picture and lost item pop up on the display. So the images are there. Maybe gv is foo too. My gv version is 3.5.8 (debian). The page 4 (in my .ps it's actually page 3, because numbering starts with 0) has a problem of double layered text. And a funny thing is that it's exactly the thing xpdf will display. Let me start from the beginning. I convert .ps (from 643) to pdf with ps2pdf (ps2pdf1.2, 1.3 or 1.4 - part of the GS). xpdf (version 1.0) can't display type 3 fonts, so the only thing it can display are bitmaps. It means all the graphics are at their correct positions, but also some portions of bitmapped text (second text layer that I am having trouble with). This is visible on left side of page 4, the whole page 5, the bottom middle of page 7 and top middle of page 8. It is in the exact same places that it's in the .ps from 1.0.1 just the offset is a bit worse in 1.0.1. About the slow machine (I guess it's not the real issue) It's Celeron 450, 384MB of RAM - it's enough. Thanks and take care, Miha... PS I hope I am not being too much of a wiseguy here. I would just like to explain what I see. Maybe I can do something more to make OOo the best office program there is. ******************************************** Hi Miha, can you attach (another) example printed from version 643? Just page 4 (page 3 in gv) if you think it provides the best example of the issues you describe. A single page example will be easier to test on and pin down the problem. You are definitely not being too much of a wiseguy! You're time and input is very much appreciated. Thanks, Liz. P.S. Can you please enter your comments here, so they are tracked in the database? Again, thanks. -Liz
Here is the page 4 http://aufbix.org/~mike/Gimp4.ps. I also made a separation of bitmaped layer and vector layer. http://aufbix.org/~mike/Gimp4-vector.ps http://aufbix.org/~mike/Gimp4-bitmap.ps Well the bitmap layer should only include the pics. I also added the bitmaped version which has all the clippings removed. http://aufbix.org/~mike/Gimp4-bitmap-noclip.ps My gv has less trouble dispalying all the images without using the magnify option. I removed the bitmap chunks that include text but I also lost some of the small images. Clippings are removed and the result is at http://aufbix.org/~mike/Gimp4-bitmap-notext.ps Hope it helps.
Reassigned to Hasan.
HI->PL: My Linux is broken, could you please take over without I tested before. Thanks.
this seems to be in the same area as issue 10613
yes, this is definetly the same a issue 10613. But that one has a higher prio so i close this one *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 10613 ***
